That number could be a little skewed because they probably have the most residents. As a percentage, it's probably something like derm or ortho or some other super competitive field. But some of the smartest people I've met are in internal medicine.
And rightfully so. Do you really need to be the top of your class to be a dermatologist? No. People go into it because of the lifestyle and paycheck. IM doctors have a tough job and I'd be happier knowing my IM doc was AOA over my Dermatologist.

Failing step 1 twice and being an FMG means you're done.
Step 2 and 3 were still hard exams.
MCAT was harder than the step exams but I barely studied.
-scored >2 SD above the mean on all of my step exams.

I don't disagree with you at all. Like I said, IM people are often extremely smart. And if they aren't smart going in, they learn a ton and are probably smart by the time they get out of residency.
I also can't fault people for wanting to go into something with a good lifestyle and good pay.
